Fin dalla sua prima comparsa, l'Oscuro non ha fatto che generare panico e caos. Entita malefica incredibilmente potente, ha provocato eventi catastrofici capaci di radere al suolo citta intere e spezzare migliaia di vite innocenti. Gli unici in grado di sconfiggerlo, a quanto scritto in una profezia, potrebbero essere cinque ragazzini, Sloane, Matt, Ines, Esther e Albie, i Prescelti. Prelevati dalle loro case da un'agenzia governativa, vengono sottoposti a un training durissimo in cui viene insegnato loro l'uso della magia, indispensabile per affrontare la missione che li attende. La lotta con l'Oscuro prosegue per anni, ma alla fine ne escono vincitori. Tutto il mondo a questo punto puo tornare piano piano alla normalita... tutti tranne loro, soprattutto Sloane, che piu dei compagni fatica a rimettersi in sesto. I segreti che nasconde non solo la tengono agganciata al passato ma la allontanano inevitabilmente dalle sole quattro persone al mondo in grado di capirla. Subito dopo la celebrazione del decimo anniversario della gloriosa vittoria sull'Oscuro che vede ancora una volta riuniti i cinque Prescelti, accade l'impensabile: uno di loro muore.

Er würde für sie sterben. Sie würde für ihn töten.Das Leben von Cyra und Akos ist vom unausweichlichen Schicksal bestimmt, das die Orakel bei ihrer Geburt geweissagt haben.

dove la vita degli uomini e dominata dalla violenza e dalla vendetta, ogni essere umano possiede un "donocorrente", ovvero un potere unico e particolare, in grado di determinarne il futuro. Ma mentre la maggior parte degli uomini trae un vantaggio dal dono ricevuto in sorte, Akos e Cyra non possono farlo. Al contrario, i loro doni li hanno resi vulnerabili al controllo altrui. Cyra e la sorella del brutale tiranno Shotet Ryzek. Il suo donocorrente, ovvero la capacita di trasmettere dolore agli altri attraverso il semplice contatto fisico, viene utilizzato dal fratello per controllare il loro popolo e terrorizzare i nemici. Ma Cyra non e soltanto un'arma nelle mani di un tiranno. La verita e che la ragazza e molto piu forte e in gamba di quanto Ryzek pensi. Akos appartiene al pacifico popolo dei Thuve, e la lealta nei confronti della famiglia e assoluta. Quando lui e il fratello vengono catturati dai soldati Shotet di Ryzek, l'unico suo pensiero e di riuscire a liberarlo e a portarlo in salvo, costi quel che costi. Quando poi viene costretto a entrare a far parte del mondo di Cyra, l'ostilita tra i loro due popoli sembra diventare insormontabile, tanto da costringere i due ragazzi a una scelta drammatica e definitiva: aiutarsi a vicenda a sopravvivere o distruggersi l'un l'altro.
